BJP MLA Suvendu Adhikari threatened to go to court if CBI failed to probe the alleged conspiracy and phone-tapping.

A political war appears to be brewing in Bengal over the Odisha triple train crash which killed at least 278 people.
BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari on June 5, 2023 alleged a conspiracy by the ruling Trinamool Congress behind the incident, as per news agency ANI.
Suvendu asked why TMC was afraid of a CBI probe, and why the party was "panicking" when the incident had taken place in another state. The BJP MLA also claimed that TMC leaders had tapped phones of railway officials.
He threatened to go to court if CBI does not probe this.

Odisha train crash: how 'tampering' of 'location box' led to tragedy, as per report

'Looping' of the location box gave a green signal to the oncoming Coromandel Express, but directed it towards the goods train, as per an Indian Express report.

With the CBI beginning its probe into the Odisha triple train crash, officials reportedly said that the most likely cause of the accident was "tampering of the location box" near the railway station.
The trigger was probably a malfunctioning level-crossing gate which prevented a green signal on the main line, an Indian Express report said. As a temporary solution, railway staff made changes to the 'location box' which is placed along the tracks and helps guide trains to their designated tracks.
On June 2, manual alteration of the location box gave a green signal to the oncoming Coromandel Express, but the point remained directed towards the loop line instead of the main line.
On the loop line, a stationary goods train was waiting, and was hit by the Coromandel Express.

Operation Bluestar was a military operation carried out in 1984 to flush out militants from the Golden Temple

Pro-Khalistan slogans were raised on the Golden Temple premises Tuesday by supporters and activists of radical Sikh outfits on the 39th anniversary of Operation Bluestar.
The slogans of 'Khalistan Zindabad' were also raised by activists of Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) led by MP Simranjit Singh Mann and his associate former MP Dhian Singh Mand at the Akal Takht. Mann was also present on the spot.
Radical Sikh outfit Dal Khalsa's activists were seen holding placards bearing portraits of slain militant leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and raising pro-Khalistan slogans.
Hundreds of Sikh youths, led by the Dal Khalsa, were carrying Khalistani flags and photographs of damaged Akal Takht.
The entire marbled periphery of Golden Temple near Akal Takht, the supreme temporal seat of Sikhs, echoed with pro-Khalistan slogans.
Elaborate security arrangements were in place in Amritsar to ensure that the event passed off peacefully.
Jathedar of Akal Takht Giani Harpreet Singh, in his message to the Sikh community, said the need of the hour was Sikh preachers and scholars should visit villages to promote Sikhism to apprise the youth with rich Sikh tenets and Sikh history in order the unite them under the banner of Akal Takht.
He spoke about the issue of drug menace which has afflicted many youths.
He said Sikhs were never scared and panicked even after the incidents that happened in 1984.
"Rather all such incidents had made the Sikh community stronger and Sikhs would continue their struggle to get justice and would never be scared to stand with the truth," he said.
On this occasion, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), the apex Sikh religious body, displayed the bullet-ridden holy 'saroop' (volume) of the Guru Granth Sahib.
The saroop, which was installed in the sanctum sanctorum at that time, was hit by a bullet during the army action in 1984.
